For $12,500, This Cutlass Is A Master-Gator
For $12,500, This Cutlass Is A Master-Gator-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:07

Donks are a special breed of car culture, favoring audacious style over function. Today’s gator-themed Cutlass is perfect example of this, but will its price put it between a croc and a hard place?

When it comes to both donks and a dude’s downstairs dangle, there's no question that size matters. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Derived from the slang term for a bootilicious lady’s back bumper, the donk culture arose out of Southern Hip Hop, which itself was a reaction to the East Coast/West Coast bias in the genre.

Mostly featuring American iron from the ‘80s and ‘90s, the objet d'art of the form is to fit insanely huge wheels under the car, making the whole thing look like some sort of urban swamp buggy.

Today’s takes the swamp theme a step further having been customized in the form of an alligator fetishist’s wet dream. The pics in the Craigslist ad aren’t all that great, and in fact a couple look like pics of pics snapped off a TV screen, what’s up with that?

Further clouding the issue, the ad’s description doesn’t even extend to the car’s year nor whether or not any real gators were harmed in its creation.

But oh what a creation it is.

Resplendent in a scaled metallic green over gator belly colored five spoke high boys, this G-body looks to be an ’84-’88 edition. The most prominent feature, aside from the insanely phat wheels, is the alligator mascot - or perhaps that’s an anthropomorphic hood scoop - adorning the engine lid.

There’s more reptile on the inside, as well as a slew of little TV screens, stereo components and more scaly textures. The gators in here are also chrome-plated for that final touch of WTF? No word on whether the sneaks in the passenger footwell come with, but you do get a cool old school Hurst shifter with the purchase.

Look, I know this car isn’t your cup of O.E., and to be honest it isn’t mine either. That doesn’t however make it tragic or uninteresting, and in fact when it comes to show donks, this one is pretty amazing. The alligator theme is not only weirdly wonderful, but it’s also balls-deep. You don’t typically see that level of commitment to theme in cars like this.

So, today I’m asking you to step out of your comfort zone and consider for a minute the purchase of this gator-baitor, not for yourself but for someone how would totally respect such a show-stopping car- like maybe the world's biggest UofF fan. I then want you to consider whether that individual should pay the seller’s $12,500 asking price.

What do you think, is $12,500 a donkin’ good deal? Or, should that price make anyone say later gator?

You decide!

, or go if the ad disappears.

H/T to BigBroBri for the hookup. Yeah, he a playah.

For $69,500, This 2008 Audi R8 4.2 Might Just Be Great
Audi owns Lamborghini, which has made it possible that you could potentially own today’s R8, a car closely related to Lamborghini’s Gallardo. We’ll just have to see if it’s priced to keep it all in the family too. Look, you don’t have to play golf to drive a golf cart,...

Have you ever seen a Ford GT40 Roadster Golf Cart? Until today’s club hauler, neither had I. Let’s see if this cool little cart’s price could be considered par for the course. According to , the European Hornet was ‘accidentally’ introduced in North America in the 19th Century. Yeah, I’d...

Today’s Legend is claimed to come with receipts for over forty grand in maintenance over the course of its life. Let’s see if its current price might make for a receipt also worth keeping. Do you know what the pirate said when he became an octogenarian? Aye matey! Talking like...

For $10,500, Would You Feel This 1976 AMC Hornet’s Sting?
Today’s Hornet X Sportabout brings some serious seventies sexiness to the table. Let’s see if its asking price gets you all hot and bothered as well. The ability to cross water made yesterday’s custom one of a kind the ultimate expression in off-roaders. Unfortunately, too many of its original parts...
